In recent times on this website, people have found out that if you create a tag list for all your posts, you can gain dousens more upvotes on your builds.
Here are my thoughts:
I'm kinda against this. Reason being, the only thing that's in it for the user making the tag list is more upvotes on their stuff. People will deny that this is the primary reason and instead claim things like "I actually don't really care about points" (bruh you wouldn't do this if you didn't lmao) or "I want to make sure all my friends to see my post" (which IMO is fair-ish but still leads back to the more points trope). To me it just seems kinda imoral in the fact that you only get this if you make a post about this asking people, which IMO is kinda the wrong way around.
Solution
Obviously, this exploit works because a lot of people do actually want to be tagged on people's builds. They want to be notified that someone has released something in the same place that they receive notifications for replies and stuff, as it pretty much gaurentees they'll see the post, which a lot of people like, especially if they follow a lot of people.
So I suggest adding a new button next to the follow button that turns on notifications. Yes... like YouTube.
I mean, it's basically the same effect as a tag list, just it doesn't take someone to make a post begging people to allow them to tag you on all their posts, making it a more even playing field. It would also be good if there was an option to get tagged on forums they post, since a lot of people like that too.
I also suggest adding a special button in teaser posts, that if you press it, when build that the teaser is related to gets released, people who pressed the button will get a notification. This would make it much easier for the poster compared to having to tag every single person who comments "T" on the post too.
OK that's all
@AfkSlot Yeah I hadn't heard of him when I made my account lol. His channel is pretty funny tho
hey @jamesPLANESii your username sounds like a guy named Jameskii and i dont know why
@MrSilverWolf also, if you know me, i like making satirical joke comment, not always though, again, im sorry for the misunderstanding however xd
@DatMaluchGuy19 yes my guy like I’ve said before just report it once and let it be
@MrSilverWolf jk, not really, i just report the more harmful comments that those trolls made.
@DatMaluchGuy19 didn’t I say to not to spam report?
@jamesPLANESii recent times? 9 months later)))
@FlyingPatriot Yup!
you about this?
@DatMaluchGuy19 and by doing so furthering fueling said troll and escalating the drama further…
I do kinda agree. I'm on a couple of these autotags and I don't really mind, but I'll be totally honest, the community is small enough that I see pretty much every halfway decent build that shows up. It's actually been a while since I just downloaded something to fly it around, I really prefer building and interacting with the community.
The "T for Tag" thing I actually do support, because it's getting notified for a specific thing that you're interested in.
I agree but on the other hand i couldn't give two hoots what other people do on the site 😂. It would be nice the be notified on when someone who you follow uploads a build as I've been absent from the site for say a day or two and i miss that they upload so it would be nice but not the end of the world. I like points especially being close to that 50k milestone but im not going out of my way to get more points. If i get 20 updoots on a post oh well, if i get more then that's fine too. Aint a perfect science until you become a massive name in the community imo.
@MrSilverWolf i did, i was the one reporting him several times, thought it would be really funny to show that hes just an alt account of some clearly immature kid/troll lmaooo.
@DatMaluchGuy19 my guy I’ve said this a thousand times now… STOP bringing it up on the comments and forums, report it and move on
@Zaineman Very true
I don't do this either
Jet stream exists
YES
YEES
Srry zaineman...
@Kangy b but
i gots like 1500 in get stream and am tryin to preak record
road to 5k bab e y
hhey guyse, cigy here
the solution to this already exists, its called the jet stream.
now i can already here the replies 'bbut kagy how can i see everyones posts?'
to that i say skill issue you dont need to live and breath the website lmao
i cant understand tag lists, just use what we have - besides the whole purpose of the points system was to reward you for making good builds that people think are good - not just 'oh its my friend's plane so ill upvote it'
if i dont think someone's build is good and they ask for criticism i will tell them that lol
that is all, please use your jet stream.
@jamesPLANESii
Along with that, when you follow someone, also get notified when they make forum posts. I think this would help a lot with that, otherwise you're left looking through a bunch of other post before you find the one you actually want.
@ToeTips absolutely keep tagging me on everything you do !
I like being tagged on people's builds because it's very hard to keep up with upvoting other people. I actually prefer to be tagged, that way I can just follow the tag and upvote the post. It saves me time... Z😺
but how else am i supposed to get upvotes with my mediocre builds?!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!
Everyone Steal My Idea :(
